hey guys, due to a terrible accident my computer fell off the 2 feet high table it was on. It is a carpeted floor and other than some nicks and scratches on the case...everything seems ok.
So I took it apart and checked for more damage inside. I made sure all the connections are secure to the mobo...several had become loose (the sound/front usb etc etc). To good measure, I also ended up brushing away loads of dust and used a blower to get all the dust out. The HDD's on their mount had dislocated and I put them back. I also checked if the power/data connections are secure.
So I booted up and no problems whatsoever. However, it may just be my ears playing tricks but I feel the processor fan is now running full all the time. Again, this may just be my ears playing tricks but I just never heard the fan being slightly more noisy...
Can you give me some hints on how to proceed? As of this moment, I am gonna shut down and check the processor area again...to see if I need to reseat it or not. I forgot to check that place.
thanks!
